Our Lady of Sorrows | Rosary MartSeptember, the month of Our Lady of Sorrows, remembers the suffering of Mary, Jesus' Mother. There are seven sorrows, seven afflictions that pierced her heart. Catholics commonly reflect upon each and they say daily one Our Father and seven Hail Mary's for each.

  • The Prophecy of Simeon. (Luke 2:34–35)
  • The Flight into Egypt. (Matthew 2:13)
  • The loss of the child Jesus in the Temple. (Luke 2:43–45)
  • Mary meets Jesus on the way to Calvary.
  • Jesus dies on the cross. (John 19:25)
  • The piercing of the side of Jesus, and Mary's receiving the body of Jesus in her arms. (Matthew 27:57–59)
